In Kyren Williams’ short time with the Los Angeles Rams so far, he’s worked with a few top-tier receivers in Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.
Now, Williams will get to play with All-Star pass-catcher Davante Adams — someone he said he grew up watching.
Watching and playing with are two different things, though, and Williams told D.J. Siddiqi of Great Offshore Sportsbooks that he’s excited to go from observer to teammate.
“I’ve been in the league for four years now, so I’ve obviously seen Adams in his prime with Packers Aaron Rodgers and I was like, ‘Dang, dope player. He’s super good. I would love to play with him,'” Williams said. “Now that I’m actually in the same room and play with him, that makes it real.”
The presence of Adams is also a motivator for Williams to grow his game, he said, because he wants to show one of the greats that he can be great, too.
“It also makes me want to go hard,” Willams said. “Makes me want to go ball out so that he can see that I’m a really good player because I want respect from the OGs. Being able to get that from him would be an honor, absolutely.”
The trio of Williams, Adams and Nacua gives Matthew Stafford a sensational trio of offensive skill players heading into 2025. All three have proven to be reliable weapons over the past few seasons and should help the Rams compete for an NFC West crown and potentially a Super Bowl this year.
